Voetbalnieuws.be reports that in January, Crystal Palace showed interest in Joel Ordoñez after losing Marc Guéhi to Manchester City and was prepared to offer 40 million euro. The transfer was not completed due to timing, as Club Brugge had recently progressed in the Champions League and had limited time to find a replacement. The report adds that Joel Ordoñez was also content with the decision because a January transfer could jeopardize his World Cup selection.

The report adds that Joel Ordoñez was also content with the decision because a January transfer could jeopardize his World Cup selection.
A transfer for Joel Ordóñez from Club Brugge to Crystal Palace was planned. After Ordóñez sustained a broken metatarsal at the World Cup, a deal valued at about thirty million euro was nearly agreed upon. Club Brugge and Crystal Palace reached a verbal agreement for a loan that included a mandatory purchase option. According to Het Nieuwsblad, the fee was 31 million euro. Het Laatste Nieuws reported the fee was about thirty million plus bonuses and a significant percentage on a future resale. Ordóñez traveled to London where he underwent an extensive medical screening. Both clubs expected the defender to recover fully, but Crystal Palace canceled the transfer because they were unwilling to wait for him to be completely fit. The club required a center-back who was available to play immediately and withdrew from the deal after the medical examinations did not provide sufficient certainty regarding Ordóñez's recovery timeline. The 31 million euro transfer fee was consequently canceled. Dévy Rigaux, who was the Director of Football at the time, stated to Het Laatste Nieuws that Club Brugge had rejected a prior offer of forty million euro from Crystal Palace in January. In March, Ordóñez stated to Het Nieuwsblad that his intention was to transfer to a large club following the World Cup, and that he had a preference for England and the Premier League. Het Laatste Nieuws emphasized that Club Brugge believes the defender can still be sold to a Premier League club for a comparable amount within four to ten months.

It is reported that Crystal Palace are preparing to renew their interest in Club Brugge defender Joel Ordonez in the January transfer window, after a proposed summer move did not proceed because of concerns over his fitness. The Eagles had been close to signing the Ecuador international in late August, and personal terms were not considered a problem as Ordonez was willing to move to the club. However, medical checks altered Palace’s plans. According to Fabrizio Romano, Ordonez had agreed to join Palace in a deal valued at approximately €30m (£26m) plus add-ons. Medical tests revealed that the foot injury he sustained at the World Cup was more serious than Palace had initially anticipated. The injury was reportedly a broken metatarsal. This led the club to withdraw from the transfer. Football FanCast reports that Palace are already planning to revisit the deal in January once they can assess the defender’s recovery. If Ordonez returns to full fitness and play regularly for Club Brugge, Palace would have more dependable information before committing to the investment. It is also noted that if Ordonez returns to good form, other clubs might become interested, and Club Brugge could become less inclined to negotiate at the original €30m valuation.
